College Counseling

We’ve developed a four-year comprehensive, counseling model that works. With our approach, students and their families have plenty of time to plan, prepare and apply.  In the first-year, we encourage students to stay open and engage in high school, laying the foundation for their academic record, co-curricular involvement, and overall Marymount experience.  This way their pursuits are more authentic and personal, not just fashioned for a college application. Sophomore year is for exploration: of the self, interests in and out of class, leadership opportunities, and the variety of collegiate learning environments.  Students are introduced to different types of colleges and learn what schools look for when evaluating potential to contribute and succeed on campus.  As juniors, students identify their personal successes and preferences in a college; they begin to search out institutions which will complement their strengths, values and culture, develop a college list and brainstorm the beginnings of an application.  Senior year is all about applying and deciding; meetings with students and their families focus on telling their unique story in a compelling and authentic way; deciding where to attend is well thought out and intentional.  

In each leg of the journey, Marymount College Counseling is there every step of the way.  Our track record speaks for itself. Marymount students regularly receive multiple offers of admission to nationally recognized colleges and universities globally.
